Post potential trades in your league here for discussion and feedback. Include any rules that are pertinent to the trade.


2 RB / 2 WR / 1 WR/RB
Giving: Javon Walker, Travis Henry
Getting: Torry Holt, Adrian Peterson
-League is point per reception.

Not sure if I'm seeing the value in this trade wrong. Basically all I get is a lot of potential upside if AP runs well and if old man Holt gets healthy enough to kick ass every game like usual.

If AP is a flop I have willie parker / deshaun foster as primary backs. If Holt cant perform I have R. Williams, B. Edwards, Drew Bennett.

No one? This will really reduce the clutter in the other fantasy football thread.

Re: ***OFFICIAL Fantasy football trades thread ***
 

Um... which Adrian Peterson? I'm assuming the Vikings one. Take the trade.

Re: ***OFFICIAL Fantasy football trades thread ***
 

I don't think I take this right now. Holt is coming off an injury and AP as a rookie obviously has question marks. Henry also has injury concerns, but Walker is healthy and not that much of a downgrade at this point. I think the risk is pretty high, and if AP doesn't pan out you are really crippled at RB. I'd stand pat

As it stands now, I would guess you are starting Parker, Henry, Foster, Walker, and Williams.

I like this alot better than the prospect of starting Parker, AP, Foster, Holt, and Williams...and possibly Parker, AP/Foster, Holt, Williams, and Edwards if Foster/AP can't produce

I get Gore + Calvin Johnson for Benson + TJ Houshmandzadeh

Re: ***OFFICIAL Fantasy football trades thread ***
 

Spellmen,

The OP's trade is similar to yours, only opposite; the OP's trade would inrease his variance and potential, while your trade would decrease it. I would take the OP's trade because I think it adds variance but also adds potential value, and I like to gamble in fantasy. Likewise I would reject your trade laughing hysterically.

Edit: I'm assuming you are trading Gore/CJ to get CB/TJ

Which two are you getting? It might be better in polls like this to make the poll options the two packages rather than Yes/No.

Re: ***OFFICIAL Fantasy football trades thread ***
 

Other way around. I am trying to get Gore without giving up too much. I'm good at drafting, but always uneasy with trades. I will try to post something a little more borderline. Trading partner offered me Calvin Johnson for Housh [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] but I am trying to formulate an offer that might get accepted but still rips him off (he is 16)

Here are teams, if possible throw together a trade or two that is favorable for me.

My team
QB: Kitna
RB: Addai, Benson, Jacobs, Norwood, Fred Taylor
WR: Holt, Housh, Driver, Coles
TE: Crumpler

His team:
QB: Palmer, Leinart, Delhomme
RB: Gore, Portis, Ahman Green
WR: Steve Smith, Randy Moss, Calvin Johnson, Branch
TE: Shockey

Yeah I'm an idiot and read that wrong. Reading comprehension ftw! I would definitely do this trade. Having Gore and Addai with even average receivers is sick... and you'd still have better than average receivers.

Oh, and MCS. I definitely like that method of polling better.

Re: ***OFFICIAL Fantasy football trades thread ***
 

Would you be willing to go Holt + Benson to get Gore?

Re: ***OFFICIAL Fantasy football trades thread ***
 

OK, here's one I was offered today, 3 days after our draft. I have Brandon Jackson (GB) as my flex RB (Gore and Jacobs are my starting RBs). Here's the offer I got from an opponent:

"How about Desmond Clark and any WR or RB on your team for Morency and Bo Scaife?"

My starting WRs are Roy Williams and Deion Branch, with Santana Moss & Joe Horn in reserve. Reserve RBs are Jerious Norwood and Reuben Droughns (handcuffing Jacobs).

Do I do the deal, and if so, what reserve do I dump? Or is this move unnecessary given how stocked I am at RB?

Re: ***OFFICIAL Fantasy football trades thread ***
 

joe horn sucks trade him if you want the safety of having both jackson and morency

Re: ***OFFICIAL Fantasy football trades thread ***
 

spellman, you need to take that trade. gore is a monster.

I should have explained this further. I would have accepted the first trade in a heartbeat. It wasn't offered to me. I was originally offered Johnson for Housh which is laughable, but I am not trying to determine what I can realistically still offer for Gore that will get accepted and leave me on top given that this kid is a 16 year old idiot.

Re: ***OFFICIAL Fantasy football trades thread ***
 

I hope when people are considering trades, whether they are the ones involved or just someone telling them to take the trade or not, they are looking at the bye weeks to make sure there won't be any conflicts.

The individual players involved may look good but if they have the same bye weeks as the players you're keeping it defeats the whole purpose of the trade.

Re: ***OFFICIAL Fantasy football trades thread ***
 

I would try Benson and Housh for Leinart and Gore. It gives you something to fall back on if Kitna is his normal self instead of last year.
Also you get a monster runner with the most under-rated o line in game right now. I wouldn't worry one bit about starting the other 3 wr's.

I agree with this sentiment. Don't trade anyone else away for morency.

Re: ***OFFICIAL Fantasy football trades thread ***
 

How much of a rip off is allowing someone to get M. Lynch for Eli when they were drafted like 7 rounds apart. Standard scoring.
